Hi guys! I am wishing to add 3 new goddesses to this house, namely Leina Vance (as the Goddess of Braids of Action), Tomoe (as the Goddess of Token Wholesome characters) and Echidna (as the Goddess of Snakes Are Sexy), all of them are from Queen's Blade. Will they need the requirements? Or Have the spots been taken already?

Head over to the Main Discussion board and talk about it there. Not many people go to specific Houses.

Is glad to be ascended as a Goddess and seeing many fellow female warriors from worlds previously unknown to her. She enjoys sparring with those warriors in her free time, and has earned the praises from many of them.

Among those warriors, there is a single blond one who took Leina by surprise—she sounds just like herself, only with a more regal undertone. Turns out that this blond warrior is no other than Arthuria, aka Saber, who had Leina bowing in respect when she learned about that Arthuria was not just the female incarnation of a famous king from her universe, but also a superior swordswoman. The two quickly developed a bond that is halfway between sisterly and master-disciple.

During a random trip around the Pantheon in her free time, Leina almost froze in terror when she thought she heard the [1] voice of her ever-clingy sister who harboured a rather unhealthyromantic feeling to her…only to find out that the voice belonged to a teenage girl called Mami Tomoe, with screw-shaped ponytails, rather large assets for her age and fights with her rifle. What surprised Leina even more was that the girl had a surname which sounds just like the given name of one of her best friends, whom she spotted a short while ago in the Pantheon. Having cleared out the misunderstanding, the two females became good friends and often competed in their respective assets, namely: guns vs swords, ringlets vs braids, and magic vs direct combat.

The ascension of Echidna made her especially uneasy. While she was grateful that Echidna taught her some decent combat tricks, the fact that the elf mercenary never missed a single chance to grope her in the most embarrassing spots in very SENSUAL ways always get her to furiously blushing in front of the others.

She is glad to find many fellow warriors who joined her in an interdimensional fight against a common foe, namely Mai and Kasumi who, just like Leina herself, posed the mascot character of their own worlds.

Upon learning that Melona and Airi, the two minions of the Swamp Witch whom she vowed to defeat, already ascended much earlier before she did, Leina almost immediately stepped onto a personal quest to thrash them once again before they could cause more harms to the new friends she made here.

Rumor had it that Airi did not give much of a comment, but Melona simply chuckled and promised to make Leina wet herself ONCE AGAIN, “Just like old times, teeheehee!”

Ah, more Queen's Blade entries?

Here are a couple suggestions.

Nanael, the Broken Angel for the House of Personal Appearance or Otherness

They both sound good, but wait... I actually have to check my memory bank to see if I have met NAUGHTIER nuns than Melpha. As for Nanael...I know she's a VERY unorthodox (and man-crazy) angel, but I think Lilith from Neon Genesis Evangelion deserves your proposed title better.

06:31:26 AM Nov 6th 2014edited by 74.70.14.146

Well, for nuns, there's Teresa Beria from Seikon No Qwaser (which is no longer on the wiki: not sure if disqualified on that alone). Still, I'm pretty sure Melpha tops her anyway.

As for Lilith, I've never seen Evangelion, but I gave a quick look at the wiki, and she's in no way what I'd consider a Broken Angel. A Broken Angel is basically a disfigured magical creature: a unicorn with a broken horn, for example, or in Nanael's case an angel with a bum wing.

Lilith's a straight up Eldritch Abomination: no fantastic creature I've ever seen comes close to that thing.

On a different point, I scoured for Echidna and Tomoe and I can't find them anywhere? Which house/divisions?

LastPanzer

06:01:44 PM Nov 6th 2014

Thanks for the suggestions man, I am still working on Tomoe and Echidna.

She showed a compassionate side to Raiden and Samuel after a casual sparring session, because she could see the reason why these two “part-machine warriors”—as she would call them—picked up their swords and started their life in carnage in the first place.

Tomoe avoids Echidna like a plague upon hearing about her ascension (into the SAME House, nevertheless). Every attempt of asking her for a reason of such avoidance had been met with a failure. Her only response?—“Don’t even get me started (forced through gritted teeth).”

She befriended Mami Tomoe as per Leina’s introduction, and she was glad that the only thing she was familiar with about this girl was her surname (which is also Tomoe), and the voice (which sounded a lot like Leina’s kind-of-clingy sister).

When Mami introduced Tomoe to her own friends, though, the latter was almost moved to her tears when she thought she heard the voice of her long-deceased friend Shizuka—only to realize that the voice belonged to an extremely genki-sounding girl called Mana Aida. Upon clearing the misunderstanding, Mana cheered Tomoe up by vowing to become her friend just so she can feel better.

Being a faithful individual, she visits the House of Faith frequently. One particular deity—Uesugi Kenshin—took a deep surprise when he first laid his eyes on Tomoe: while Tomoe both looked and sounded like a particular melancholic Sengoku princess by the name of Oichi, she was almost the polar opposite—being generally positive, confident, and emotionally stable. Upon Kenshin’s introduction, Tomoe quickly befriended Oichi, who looked up to her like a long-lost twin sister, and would be constantly bugging her for a few lessons with the sword—since Oichi’s husband Nagamasa flatly refused to let her take places in any kind of combat situation.

The only thing I can say that I would make her title something what rolls off the tongue bit better. Like "The Token Wholesome Goddess".

Ascended after hearing that Kokonoe A. Mercury and her accomplice Iron Tager ascended. Since then she has been seeking them to get her revenge on due to an ill-fated mission with the group she was formerly affiliated with.

Tries to stay away from Amane whenever she can due to a Noodle Incident involving the latter mistaking her mercenary group for a dance troupe and forcing them to dance for three days straight. The worst part is that even a decade after the incident, she's apparently never forgiven him for that.

Doesn't like being called "Butt Girl" due to her absurdly short shorts, but calling her "Butt Floss" is even worse. For this reason, Johnny has decided not to perform his lech antics on her, lest he get roasted by her.

Also don't mention Kokonoe in her presence as she will give the person three choices: Tell her what he/she knows of her, run away, or get roasted.

She found her way into the Pantheon after her Elite Four was outrage at the fact, that she wasn't their despite the like of that underachiever Ryuko (this is mostly Nonon's opinion.) and Nui was there and their Satsuki-sama wasn't.

She is constantly at odds with Vergil thanks to their mortal followers comparing the two.

She quickly became friends with Jin due hating the parents of the same gender and loving their other parent who disappeared.

Ascended not long after she finally got over her feelings of shame and embarrassment from wearing Senketsu. The following awesomeness that followed cemented her place in the house.

Although Ryuuko seeks to avenge her father who was killed by Harime Nui, her rage can be calmed as evidenced by how a "No-Star" student like Mako can stop her rampaging berserker form. As such, she is not considered as a member of the House of Hatred.

As she considers her Kamui, Senketsu, as her friend, some of the gods wondered if she has "deeper feelings" that just friendship. That is not even counting her [[friendship]] with Mako or any possible Foe Yay with Satsuki.

Many wonder if she is somehow related to Simon while others wonder is she is related to Shadow instead.

I think Striperiffic has been done by Suikoden's Jeane. The other one can stay though.

You should also put in about relations with Ragna the Bloodedge, considering Ryuuko is often considered her Distaff Counterpart or sorts.

I don't think the first thing we thought of when it comes to eyepatches isn't Odin. Besides, there's been some depictions of Odin that has no eyepatches (the one in Final Fantasy comes to mind), and his eyepatch has never been put in focus. And hey, Masamune is a very well-known figure in media. I'm not sure if I like this notion. You think, guy?

lightningpastry

11:06:47 PM Jan 9th 2014

I've never actually heard of him, but I'll take your word for it. I just thought "God + Eye Patch" and what came to mind was Odin. What I feel I can say without too much qualification is that Odin is much more well-known in media than Date Masamune, though it's true, the eyepatch is not the central focus of the character.

I didn't feel particularly strongly about this, I just wanted it put out there to facilitate discussion.

ChrisX

11:19:26 PM Jan 9th 2014edited by 111.94.125.248

I don't mean to say you have no grounds of it. However, I can see that the mentality of yours is built on Fan Myopia. You've heard of Odin, yet you've never heard of Masamune, and then just decides that he should be replacing someone you don't know. That's not what a 'good Pantheon-ing' way.

Masamune already had a solid portfolio, if his portfolio was just barebones, then I could see the change happening. Also, just because one is the original God of X, doesn't mean he must be the God of X in this Pantheon. Look at Guan Yu: IRL, he's the God of War. However, he's here as the God for Beards, the God of War has been taken by Kratos.

Also... just for note, if Odin's eye patch is what was most known for him, why would Thor say "By Odin's Beard!" instead of "By Odin's Eye Patch!"?

So not only about Fan Myopia, I'm not sure I could take your claims about Odin being the Eyepatch God seriously.

Though I will give you props for forwarding it to the Discussion page first instead of rushing in too early. Let's hear it from everyone else first.

TPPR10

04:41:34 AM Jan 10th 2014

Also, we don't have any gods directly from mythologies. For example, Thor in the Pantheon is not the Norse mythology Thor, but Marvel Thor. I think the only expection is Zeus, but I am betting it is more geared forwards God of War Zeus than the actual one.

ChrisX

05:45:34 AM Jan 10th 2014edited by 111.94.125.248

Most Gods here an amalgamation of what they are in various media. Just take a look at Batman, and you'll notice that he's not from just one source. He's the TAS, Dark Knight, Injustice, Brave & Bold, Adam West & many more all rolled in one. There's also Amaterasu, but she's probably from Ōkami. I will definitely add up that the Zeus is from God of War, but he might also take notes from the game Smite.

Unless Lightning Pastry may be thinking of either Odin of Final Fantasy or Odin being Marvel Odin (Thor and Loki's father), but he noted that it's straight from the Norse Mythology, in which TPPR's arguments hold value. It still has a heavy implications of he doesn't know Date Masamune himself that he must be removed to make way for Odin, though. That's not a good thing, I'm sorry. Even if you picked another from an actual series, this heavy Fan Myopia stuff isn't going to do good.

I have been thinking if Tobi should be dethroned from his position as the god of Masks. not because of stuff what might have happened in Naruto, but because there might be some people who would fit the role better. I myself suggest Hata no Kokoro. Not only does she have 66 masks (plus everything which fans want to reference ), she is a mask (a tsukumogami born from the masks of Hata no Kawakatsu). Plus on kickass scale, she beat Reimu (who has beaten almost every one else in Touhou) while Reimu had back-up.

phoenixyfriend

02:09:17 PM Dec 16th 2013

You make a good point, but given how Tobi is in the Pantheon 'system' beyond simply being a God (the UGAE, the mentions of him in other Gods' profiles, a lot of expansion on his godly profile, etc.), we'd need to find somewhere else to put him first, not just take him out altogether.

For that matter, is Hata no Kokoro the only possible replacement? What about Noh-Face from Spirited Away, or the mask-monster from Inuyasha? I'm personally partial to the Noh-Face idea, because Spirited Away is a Classic that ensures that most people would recognize the connection. Then again, 66 masks are a convincing argument...

TPPR10

08:51:01 PM Dec 16th 2013

No Face is currently the God of Feeding on Emotions. As of mask-monster, does it even have a name? Or has any important part in the series? Is it even a proper character?

phoenixyfriend

10:57:10 AM Dec 17th 2013

I was not aware of No Face's position, and the mask-monster was more of a random suggestion because no, it's not really important at all (one episode, maybe two).

TPPR10

10:51:24 PM Dec 26th 2013

Related to original post, if Kokoro would replace Tobi, what spot shouldTobi to be moved? I am not familiar with Naruto, so I fon't know myself.

phoenixyfriend

09:01:02 PM Dec 27th 2013

Do we have a god for Red Herring Villains? Or anything else capable of referencing the fact that Tobi = Obito was a joke theory for years before it was finally proven as the actual truth after a number of misleading situations.

TPPR10

09:51:39 PM Dec 27th 2013

As far I can tell, I don't think we have that sort of position. But where he would go then? Mentalism? Straight into House of Wild Mass Guesses?

Ascended not long after his victory against Ichiryu. Seeing him use his tongue to devour even the very air itself convinced the other gods that he deserves the post.

Apparently used to be nicer especially after he met Frohze as a teenager and experienced kindness from her. No one knows (yet) what had happened to change him into the man that he currently is as of the present.

His "Hungry Space" is dreaded by various other gods, especially those that cannot regenerate from wounds that can suddenly appear out of seemingly nowhere.

Is highly antagonistic towards the majority of the gods from the House of Food as he would devour everything inside and leave absolutely nothing for the other gods. Even Kirby and Pacman are afraid of his ruthless hunger.

Tried to devour everything from the House of Beasts, making him an even greater threat than Toriko who at least shows some restraint especially for sentient animals. Not even humans are safe from his ravenous hunger.

There is chance that Midora is an extreme omnivore on par with Gluttony and Kirby but there is no proof to validate that claim. Also, Midora admits that he favours edible food, especially good-tasting ones.

ChrisX

10:14:34 PM Sep 26th 2013

... I wonder. With that many characters from his series getting inducted here...

Allies: Her peerage (including Hyodo Issei), the remaining members of Kuoh Academy's Occult Research Club, and Kuoh Academy's Student Council

Enemies: Anyone that dares to harm her peerage, including Issei, as well as anyone who harms her friends

Ascended not long after Issei's own ascension as she played a pivotal role in his life by becoming his beloved "King". The fact that she willingly lets him use her breasts to power-up, to the point that she would even sacrifice her ample bosom to aid him him battle even if only as a temporary effect, only cemented her place in the house.

Although happy to be with Issei as a fellow god, Rias was understandably mortified at how she got the seat.

Due to Rias' willingness to sacrifice her breasts for the sake of victory and her loved one, even if only temporarily, she has earned the respect of many other goddesses, even flat-chested ones such as Noel Vermillion.

As she and the rest of her peerage resides in the House of Personal Appearance and Equipment, Issei would often visit her place and would even spend most of his nights at her place as he would not willingly sleep all by himself. Many of the more perverted gods giggle and snicker at his antics.

Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric are honestly baffled at how her breasts can grant miracles as it goes against the usual maxim of "Equivalent Exhange" in the most pervertedly ridiculous way imaginable. They and many other gods from the House of Magic have considered researching her breasts but they do not want to be accused of being breast-loving perverts. Besides, Issei is rather possessive and protective over her, so much so that not even Jiraiya had managed to get a proper peek at her or even the rest of the ladies from the Occult Research Club for that matter.

Eeehm... you need to fix the linking. For instance, for Foreign Fan Service, you write it like this: ForeignFanservice, not this: MainForeignFanservice. The result is this: Foreign Fanservice.

In case of linking works with other namespaces, you would do it like this. Let's see... let's use Full Metal Alchemist as an example. You write it like this: Manga/FullMetalAlchemist, not this: Manga/FullMetalAlchemist. The result is this: Fullmetal Alchemist.

Ok, tried to edit it the best I can but I still can't seem to get it right for the pantheon houses and Naruto for some reason. At any rate, is it approved?

ChrisX

05:11:51 AM Sep 24th 2013

Well I can't say a thing because I'm no High School DXD watcher, zero knowledge.

As of single-sentenced link, you need to put these brackets: { and }. It goes like, for the Naruto example... Manga/{{Naruto}}. Here's the result: Naruto.

Raja-Ulat

06:50:44 AM Sep 24th 2013

Thanks. Will be posting this on the House since I've yet to hear of anyone mentioning about shrinking breasts. Also planning to add one last character from Highschool Dx D, Vali Lucifer, in the House of Combat later.

Ascended upon slaying a series of extremely high-powered creatures threatening his world: Ancient of Days, Sanat Kumara, and Masakado's Shadow. He has expressed a bit of annoyance that his official title has nothing to do with those deeds, and instead focuses on his hairstyle of all things.

Is not allowed anywhere near the House of Technology, due to his bad habit of stealing random odds and ends and selling them at the House of Commerce.

His tendency to wear rather outlandish outfits is really limited to battle, and only if he does not own the rest of the outfit set. Under normal circumstances, he wears his Samurai Uniform.

Is rather...persuasive when it comes to cash: he's been known to successfully shake down the most terrifying demons MID-BATTLE. Requests from the House of Commerce to lend his aid to them have gone unanswered.

Has offhandly expressed interest in facing Kremhild Gretchen, due to the similarities to a group of beings he had faced before and a desire to test his strength against it. This earned him a punch to the face by Homura and a gun pointed right at his head before he frantically managed to recant.

No one is quite sure who is stronger, Flynn or the Demi-Fiend Naoki Kashima, not even the two in question. Flynn has expressed cautious optimism, while Naoki has offered no comment. While the two have a tense rivalry at the moment, it has not yet come to a true battle. More than one god is dreading the day it does...

Though there was debate as to who was more worthy of the name, the argument was settled rather quickly when it was learned that the Blacker Baron was the reincarnation of the Black Baron (stop starin').

It didn't take long for the Baron to be kicked out of the House of Love in desperate need of an ice pack for his nether region. He continues to lament that he didn't even get the chance to proposition Panty.

Has been trying to convince the House of Food to carry his Baron Beer brand malt liquor, though no word yet as to that outcome.

It should be warned that should anyone bring harm to his high priestess, the Pantheon would shake with his anger to the tune of So Cold. The House of Combat has been given a plan of attack for containing such an outburst courtesy of Batman

Honda...? Fatness isn't his issue. Plus he's earned his place in the Sports pantheon for Sumo.

Megafighter3

12:28:41 AM Mar 3rd 2013

For Acrofatic, I'd personally go with Bam Bam Bigelow. Despite being 400 pounds, Bigelow regularly did cartwheels and moonsaults in the ring.

ChrisX

10:38:15 PM Mar 29th 2013

I'm storing Control Freak here. I think it needs consideration because if there's one biggest think CF is known for, it's his TV-themed super-villainy and possibly his nerdiness. Not about how he's fat and moving fast. Even Bigelow seemed to be a more plausible entry (although he's dead)

And the portfolio sound forced. Really? Let's wait till there's more opinion on him. Don't make him sound forced. This is like that time we had a bunch of new forced One Piece entries like Fan Myopia.

troy56

04:59:48 AM Mar 30th 2013

I meant Bigelow (unless someone objects).

Dooms

03:52:09 AM Jun 15th 2013

Personally, if we're gonna make a place in the pantheon for Acrofatic, I'd reccomend Rufus (Street Fighter IV) and Bob (Tekken) as co-gods, as both are deceptively fast fighters despite their bulk, and have a place close to the top of the tier list in terms of effective fighters.

I don't mean to get into Fan Myopia, but looking at the current God for Dude Looks Like a Lady... I feel unconvinced, really. He... looks too obvious to be a man or sorts.

I was thinking of an alternate, really. What do you think for... Andromeda Shun? I mean, this dude not only has the voice of a high pitched male to near women level, he's got a Cloth tailored for women (which got boobs...), constellation of a WOMAN, other foreign countries dubs has mistakenly gotten him voiced by women, he's The Chick of the Five-Man Band...

His bro Ikki and his friend Hyoga being already in the Pantheon is just icing the cake, really.

But let's hear your opinion on putting Shun for his really androgynous appearance, I bet that's more well known than his weapons or something.

The Enemy Without of Noel, unleashed into a separate entity, she now aims to destroy the Pantheon... especially those who insult her about her lack of chest.

One time or another, her ass seemed to produce the sound "Wiggle Wiggle!" occasionally.

here because Baby Got Back was cut and is being cleaned up because of the Google Incident Mk. II; however, I know nothing about BlazBlue, so perhaps someone who knows it better than me can clean this up.

And just put in a brief depower thanks to the article being deleted. Ass is a position to fill in, regardless of whether tropes get deleted or not. Sexy Back got split, and Shanoa retains her place (even if the link goes different), I don't see why Mu can't.

CelPrevZero

05:01:28 AM Jan 20th 2013

How about we merge this profile with that of Noel's since she's one and the same person?

CelPrevZero

05:01:30 AM Jan 20th 2013

How about we merge this profile with that of Noel's since she's one and the same person?

Not that I'm complaining, this means we have 4 of the 5 hedgehogs in the pantheon somewhere (this IS counting Metal Sonic. Unless I'm missing her somewhere, Amy is the only one of the hedgehogs NOT in the pantheon somewhere...)

ChrisX

04:49:53 PM Feb 25th 2012

Not quite sure with Megafighter's obsession of putting everyone from Purgatory/Disgraces into the actual trope, redeemed. I told him that 'returned to the mortal realm' is a good option, but apparently, he does not listen. No offense to Megafighter, but what do you see especially very special in Silver that you're adamant in seeing him in Pantheon? Not to mention... the lack of flavor text makes Silver's entry, being Shonen Hair or Time Police look REALLY forced.

Megafighter3

12:51:05 AM Feb 26th 2012

I'm not one to use "mortal realm" too often since the point of the Unsorted is for a God to be recycled in the proper Pantheon. The lack of flavor text is merely because I don't know enough about Silver as a character.

Why pick Silver for this position? Well, aside from availability, Silver's entry back in the Disgraces made a point of mentioning his hair (It was his symbol and mentioned in previous flavor text) and in a way it's come full circle.

And it's even worse that you don't even KNOW Silver enough that you shoved him into a position you might not know enough. Seriously, why? What if there's an even more proper character for Shonen Hair? Why do you really think that being put in the Mortal Realm is even worse than Disgraces?

Please don't get me wrong. Redemption IS a wonderful thing. However, sometimes, being merely removed from the Disgraces/Fallen were enough, especially if there's not enough fitting portfolio. You, Megafighter, seem like adamant in emptying the Unsorted that you sometimes forgot about some things like pushing in someone you don't even know, or putting the same portfolio with someone else (like that time with Time Police. Granted, some tropes has more than one Gods, but still...).

Please, I really hope you rethink about your crusade on redeeming everyone. It's a good move, but I don't think this is a good way to show it.

Megafighter3

09:19:14 AM Feb 26th 2012

True. I'll start removing a few Gods at this point (Silver, Naru, Emperor Dalek, Joel Schumacher) since they're either flavorless or in Joel's case, has a goal dependent on real life events that most likely won't happen. Even if Joel gets redeemed, there's not really a position he could fill otherwise.

Hey I'm thinking of a Goddess for Token Wholesome. I think more power would come in a series where the main charm is the buxom ladies, but the one picked would be most conservative in dressing. So I was thinking either these candidates:
